Scout report
J. Bendik is a 37-year-old goalkeeper at Philadelphia Union, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 8 appearances, a Season grade of 5. On long-term scout potential he's rated 4.6. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (20.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bendik.
On the season, Bendik graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 5). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 5. At 37 Bendik is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Philadelphia Union finished 4th of 15 · an upper-table side
2 clean sheets in 8 appearances (25% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (4th of 15) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 4.6 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
